Byzitouni

🛒 What You’ll Need

  • 2 lbs Beef stew meat (chuck roast cut into 1-inch cubes) 🥩✨
  • 3 Large bell peppers (red, green, and orange!), chopped into chunks 🫑❤️💚
  • 1 Large onion, roughly chopped 🧅
  • 2 cups Beef broth 🥣
  • 2 tbsp Tomato paste 🍅
  • 3 cloves Garlic, minced 🧄
  • 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce 🍶
  • 1 tsp Smoked paprika & ½ tsp Dried thyme 🌿✨
  • Salt & Coarse black pepper to taste 🧂🖤
  • Fresh parsley for garnish 🌿

👩‍🍳 Instructions

  1. The Perfect Sear (Optional but Recommended!): Season your beef with salt and pepper. In a large skillet over high heat, sear the beef cubes for 2-3 minutes per side until browned. This locks in that deep, meaty flavor! 🥩🔥🤎
  2. Fill the Pot: Place the beef, chopped bell peppers, and onions into your slow cooker. 🥣🧅🫑
  3. Mix the Sauce: In a small bowl, whisk together the beef broth, tomato paste, garlic, Worcestershire sauce, and spices. 🌪️🍶🍅
  4. The Slow Simmer: Pour the sauce over the meat and veggies. Cover and cook on:
    • Low for 7–8 hours (for the absolute best tenderness!) ⏲️📉
    • High for 4 hours ⏲️📈
  5. The Finish: Once the beef is fork-tender as seen in the photo, give everything a good stir. If you want a thicker gravy, stir in a pinch of xanthan gum! 🍲🤝🤤
  6. Serve: Ladle into warm bowls and garnish with a sprinkle of fresh parsley. 🍽️😋🧤✨

🔥 Pro Tips:

  • The “Pepper” Secret: If you prefer your peppers with a bit of a “bite,” add half of them at the beginning and the other half during the last hour of cooking! 🫑🛡️💎
  • Serving Suggestion: Enjoy this stew on its own, or serve it over a bed of buttery cauliflower rice for the ultimate low-carb feast! 🍚🥘🎯
